• 1. Always Wear Your Seatbelt
• According to studies, approximately one in every
  six truck drivers does not wear their seat belts.
  Seatbelts are not only required, but they are
  also the most preventable way to reduce injury.
  Every year, not wearing a seatbelt accounts for
  more than 40 of all crash-related deaths.

• 2. No Cell Phone While Driving
• It is not only negligent, but it is also illegal
  in most states to use a handheld mobile phone
  while driving. Distracted driving can result from
  talking, texting, or staring at your phone's
  screen.
• 3. Be Conscious of Speed Limits
• There are speed limits in place, particularly for
  trucks. You'll be safer on the road if you stick
  to the speed limit.

• 4. Stay away from drugs and alcohol
• While it may seem obvious, driving while
  intoxicated is extremely dangerous and should be
  avoided at all costs. Drugs contain anything that
  injures your decision or physical talents, such
  as sleepy medications. In expansion to safety
  questions, being under the effect can cost you
  your job.
• 5. Make a Travel Plan
• Unexpected events on the road can happen at any
  time, but having a plan can help you be more
  prepared. The better you plan your trip (driving
  hours, routes, weather scouting, and so on), the
  safer your journey will be.

• 6. Keep Your Truck's Space Cushion in Mind
• Always keep in mind your truck's large height and
  weight. To avoid accidents, make sure there is a
  safe space cushion on all sides of the vehicle.
• 7. Slow down for curves and turns.
• When turning on a curved road or at an off-ramp,
  use caution. Slow down to account for lane
  changes and other vehicles.

• 8. Maintain an Appropriate Stopping Distance
• Maintain a safe stopping distance between
  yourself and any vehicles ahead of you. Keeping
  your head up and minimizing distractions will
  help you avoid close encounters.
• 9. Keep an eye on the weather
• Certain parts of the country are known for having
  unpredictable weather, so keep an eye on the
  forecast and avoid dangerous driving conditions
  whenever possible.

• 10. Eat Healthily and Get Plenty of Sleep
• A more nutritious diet and adequate rest will

  tired.
